Okay people I am back with a whole new chapter filled with badassery and epicosity. So without further self insertion let's get going!
.:~!~:.
I snarled and growled at the jackass indigo blood who held me by the throat, I was not ready to die at that damn second, that's when I heard it, a low angry squawk rippled through the air and you could almost feel the fury that was coming off my lucus' body in waves. My lucus and I were as close as we could be; it was hard not to be when you sparred together every day and spent more time that was normal together; so I obviously knew what was coming next. Phoenix-mom zoomed across the ten foot distance separating me and her and attacked the high bloods, who were smart enough to run out the door and back towards the flaming neighborhood. Mom sniffed at the air and squawked before she flew outside caching the highbloods who had attacked me earlier, I smiled and ran outside into the burning hive cluster that was swarming with highbloods.
The high bloods obviously had more power than I had first thought about forty or fifty of them were rounding up everyone lower than a teal blood and killing them off. There were a few places were some trolls and lucia were fighting back, one such area was in front of a hive that looked shockingly similar to my own with a huge bipedal crab lucus fending off a sea dweller and a cerulean blood. I quickly rushed over followed by my lucus and started kicking some high blood ass, the sea dweller was easy to scare off, I had a feeling she didn't want to fight anyone, but the cerulean blood was much harder to drive off. He wanted to kill someone, I could tell just by looking at him, but I wasn't going to let that happen. I kicked him in the gut, and as he flinched from the impact then phonix-mom knocked him out using one of her huge talons. I smirked and waved at the nubby horned troll who had appeared in the doorway of the hive before jumping back into the fray, by this time the remainder of the other low bloods had been rounded up.
"oh no you don't" I snarled under my breath and attacked.
I don't really remember much of what happened after that but I somehow ended up being held back by two bluebloods and being forced to listen to my lucus' screeches of pain as an indigo blood who was a bit older than me fought, no tortured her. I closed my eye and gritted my teeth as I heard mom's dying shrieks ripple through the air. The indigo blood shook the candy red blood off his machete like scimitar before turning to face me.
"You're next sis" the subjugator growled "YOU'RE MOTHERFUCKING NEXT!"
"Not on my watch" someone said from the shadows
My head snapped up as I tried to see the troll who had just spoken because I knew I had heard that voice before but I couldn't remember when.
"hey nice to see you again" the troll said as he stepped out of the shadows. That's when it hit me, this was the same guy who had attacked me in the woods half a perigee ago.
"You're late." I said
"I know, and I'm sorry" he replied before turning to face the indigo blood "it's been a while, brother" he spat out the last word like it was poison
"What are you doing here Jamille?" the indigo blood growled
"Taking a motherfucking walk" he said with a smirk "what are you doing here"
"Finishing off the lowblood scum in this area" he snarled
"Dude, go home and stop killing low bloods."
"Why should I? Last time I checked you were a traitor to our caste and should have been killed at first sight"
"Yeah well last time I checked you didn't have a fucking morail to keep you in check so go and get your ass back to your hive!"
That's when I noticed how close that evil scimitar was, the indigo blood could just flick his wrist and I would be dead in an instant. Jamille obviously noticed it too and he slowly pulled his strife card out of the pocket of his clown pants.
"Step away from the low blood Thetas" Jamille hissed
"No" Thetas growled and that's when he slashed his stupid scimitar across my chest
I heard a scream and some honking sounds before darkness filled my vision and I lost track of the world around me.
When I opened my eyes again I was lying on the couch in a hive I didn't recognize. I groaned and pushed myself up into a sitting position and glanced around the room. Piles of empty Faygo bottles and broken juggling batons lined the walls.
"Shit." I muttered noticing the fact that my shirt was gone replaced by bandages that had been wound tightly around my chest and shoulders. My head snapped up as I heard someone enter the room.
"Hey, look who's up." Jamille said as he entered the room
"Did you do this?" I said gesturing at my bandage covered torso
"nah. That was my lucus's handiwork. He literally kicked me out of the hive while he fixed you up. I've spent the last couple of hours keeping a pair of highbloods from stealing the corpses of the dead trolls and lucia" he smirked and handed me a black hoodie "here put this on and zip it up"
I pulled on the garment and sighed relieved that my chest area wasn't just covered by bandages only anymore.
"I need to get back to my hive…" I said with a sigh "I also need to say goodbye to my lucus"
He nodded and helped me stand up before we headed out the door, it was till night out and the wind was howling as it blew through the spaces in between the hives. The fire had died down but now I could truly see what had happened. Most of the hives were still intact but the ground was covered in dead bodies and rainbow colored blood, I swallowed the bile rising up my feed shout and walked towards were the body of my lucus was. I could hear Jamille following silently behind me as I walked.
"Could you give me a few seconds alone?" I asked Jamille as I crouched down by my lucus' side
"Sure" Jamille replied and walked a few feet away before sitting down on a rock.
I turned to the body of my lucus and held back tears as I ran my fingers through the feathers on the top of her head. Red mutant blood stained the ground around us and I could feel tears beginning to drip down my cheeks.
"I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry" I whispered as I buried my face in her side red tears now streaming down my cheeks
Suddenly I noticed movement beside me and turned about to kill whomever it was when I saw a meow-beast-lucus with a gash in its side walking over to me, olive green blood dripping out of it wound.
"You lost your troll hunh? " I said looking at it
I got a small halfhearted meow in response
"Come here"
It hissed at me
"Come on... I'll take care of that wound of yours."
The abandoned lucus hesitantly came over and clambered onto my lap; I pulled the first aid kit out of my siladex and started patching up the wound. I picked up a few of the feathers of phoenix-mom up off the ground and headed over to Jamille with the paw-beast lucus padding silently behind me.
== end flashback.
I hissed and whipped away the stray tears that had accumulated around my eyes before slowing down and easily beginning my decent towards Equius' hive, I could hear the screeches and clacks of Vriska's lucus as I landed right outside the door. I slid off my bike and walked over to the door, knocking on it twice. The door was opened by Equius' lucus, Arthor, he seemed a tiny bit surprised to see me but let me in anyway. Arthor lead me down several hallways and to a room where Equius was fighting several robots. I pulled my sword out of its card and attacked one of the robots because I knew from experience Equius liked taking his sweet time killing those things. The robots were in pieces in about ten minutes after that.
"so…" I said as I watched Equius wipe the sweat off his face with a towel. "Here's the metal. You're welcome. I'm outta here."
I didn't wait for a reply before I headed back the way I came a smirk plastered on my face. When I got outside I hopped onto my bike and kicked off zooming south at top speed. Next up for getting stuff was Sollux and then I would hit Jamille's morail's on the way back. I decided to not slip into my memories this time and focused on my flight path. Thirty minutes went by without notice and I finally entered the hive cluster where Sollux lived. I expertly weaved through the enormous hives and found the one he lived in; I saw a troll bout my age jump off the roof and start flying towards me. I had worked with Sollux once before and that was when he needed some titanium-copper alloy wires for one of his computers.
"Nice." I said pulling the bike to a stop and setting it to hover mode
"thankth" came the lispy reply. "You got the ring?"
"Yeah. Here ya go" I said handing it to him
"Awethome, I thend you the game when I finthed coding it"
"Okay. Talk to you later Sollux."
He nodded and headed back towards his hive as I turned my bike around and flew back towards home. I decide to skip dropping by Kona's house and head straight home.
== skip forward three hours.
I landed in the garage of my hive with a sigh and silently reminded myself to build a sendificator so I wouldn't have to make these ridiculously long trips. I tossed my helmet onto the workbench and headed inside the hive my adopted meow-beast lucus was pacing around in the kitchen as Jamille rummaged through the cupboards.
"Looking for something?" I asked as I flopped down in one of the piles of pillows and blankets lying around.
"your lucus kept asking me for food and I'm trying to find it some." Jamille replyed
"top shelf right hand side" I said sighing "I'm going to check trollian"
"Okay"
I pulled out my husk top and smiled as trollian popped up.

I sighed and glanced over at Jamille who was still rummaging around in the kitchen, he caught me looking at him and smiled sheepishly.
"can opener?" he asked
"with the knives" I replyed smirking
My attention snapped back to my screen as the familiar ping signaling someone was trolling me again.

firestormedWarrior [FW] closed memo
I closed my husktop and looked out my window at the view I had of the land of steel and fire, tall spires and bridges of silvery metal rose above huge walls of fire, my hive sat on one of the tallest spires with most of the major landmarks visible from where I sat. I saw several imps were screwing around outside with my alchemiter and a few ogres and basilisks starting to head towards my hive.
"whelp." I said my familiar smirk spreading across my face. "It's time to get to work"
